What is knowledge mobilization?• Knowledge mobilization (KMb) is a broad and
encompassing term that includes the products, processes and relationships among knowledge creators, users, and mediators (individuals or intermediary organizations that support knowledge brokering). http://www.theresearchshop.ca/sites/default/files/Hawkins%20CSAHS%20CE%20and%20KM%20definitions.pdf
• “Yet knowledge mobilization in action surely must be understood to be a circulation of multiple meanings and responsibilities, in multiple directions—not just for diverse users, but also for the knowledge producers.” Fenwick, T. (2008). Considering ‘Knowledge
Mobilization’ in Educational Research: What knowledge, what mobilities, what responsibilities? Educational Insights, 12(2). www.ccfi.educ.ubc.ca/publication/insights/v12n02/articles/fenwick/index.html

Where did this come from?• Out of community based research (cbr) or CES• out of university Commercialization• Relationship building• little “c” communications vs. Big “C”
communications• Return on investment (ROI) for tax dollars

program • My graduate student wants work experience with policy-makers • We are doing our own research but we need help • We need to do research but do not know where to start • We need to tap into research, knowledge, and expertise at a university
